Bento #35: No "protein" tag for this lunch. Uh-oh.


We usually pride ourselves here at the sneaky kingdom on eating fairly balanced (nutritionally, that is) lunches.  We like to think there's some fruit and veggie, some carbs, and some protein in almost every lunch we pack.

That is obviously not the case here.  Macaroni and cheese (from a box--We hadn't eaten it in so long We had to spend ten minutes walking around the store trying to find it when We got a craving for it) and grapes.  And a cookie from a freezer cookie stash.

There were no good food options in the fridge.  We didn't want to eat out.  The mac 'n cheese, which was leftover from a "just got out of the car after driving home from a trip and now We are staaaarving" attack late the night before needed to be eaten up.  So We were embarrassed.  We thought about the blog--that this would have to go up there!  We decided to try to "pretty" it up with one lonely tomato and a cheese "A" for Asher. 

Alas, it did not work.  Ill-conceived from start to finish.  As it turns out, We no longer like eating like We are three years old.  Also, this carb-bomb of a lunch left Us dragging at first, followed by starving as soon as the simple carbs wore off.    Well, lesson learned--no more of this!
